Hey, for Chipotle, I've had the exact opposite experience. Order online with their app, and the order is always bursting at the seams. Order in person, and it's meh. Plus the line! Order through like Favor / Uber, and it&#x27

My dad was born on an Indian Reservation in South Dakota in the 1940s or maybe 30s. He has an age for the military, an age on his drivers license, and a bunch of ages he told people over the years. Mostly bankers. For probably 20 years when

You get the same sort of "error" message in iOS when you don't turn Siri on. It's annoying that these companies are all starting to use "error" messages like this.

I find that the US is very lenient when it comes to inspecting environmental practices. What is it, most oil rigs get inspected 5% as often as they should? I forget the number, and I'm just quoting some movie... someone will know, but

I understand that receipts are required by law, but in my experience, no one checks for them unless you leave your laptop in the box (or declare it). If you put it in a laptop bag or simply say that it's a work laptop, you will likely

But careful even donating "patch time" since doing security updates and all the rest inherently change things. Non-profits are pretty bad at documenting requirements, or having any sort of automated testing, so you go in and upgra

It's hard... because you want to give your time to non-profits, but inevitably they won't be able to support or enhance what you do once you leave. Then that leaves them in a worse spot. I do a lot of work with an animal shelter,

I prefer Apple, but there are times when you can't get away from Windows. For those times I find the following tools really useful. But like the article says... its is hard to trust a company that build all this adware crap into my OS

Eh, Dad would see that as rude. But the moment you un-friend someone, they instantly show back up in your friend suggestions. So while Dad doesn't really talk to these people, the desire to not offend them, and their desire to connect

I think the bulb versions of LEDs really do suck. Like... I was used to the GE Reveal 100W Incandescent Bulbs. For comparison, the light bulbs with like a slight blue tint to them that just worked great. I had them all over my house. But th

Depression… mental health… Australia requires you to report if you ever saw a shrink. I think it was 10 years of medical records. What really sucks too, is that you tend to apply through your company, so you’re sending your company’s lawyer

They need to have human review of products and product changes. Easy enough. Just expensive. I don’t care that it’s expensive. That’s Amazon’s problem. Let’s put another way, until Amazon does something about this there’s no way for anyone

Apple would put 0 effort into making the app work across platforms and browsers and devices. They're not a good fit for this space.

I think a lot of the diseases and stuff they studied worked better on animals that aged faster than humans. The way to justify animal testing is to say, "Ok, we can make these animals suffer for 50 years... or we can make humanity cont
